The Look - CHANEL BEAUTÉ AT THE 2007 EMMY AWARDS: Katherine Heigl's Look

chanel.gifWHAT: The CHANEL press office is proud to announce Katherine Heigl wearing CHANEL Beauté at the 59th Annual Emmy Awards. The products used by CHANEL Makeup artist, Monika Blunder, to create Katherine's look are provided below.

k heigl emmy 2.jpgBeauty Inspiration: Monika describes Katherine's look as "Old Hollywood Glamour with a modern twist." Katherine's white dress allowed Monika to be a little more creative and adventurous with colour, which resulted in the stunning red lip, setting Katherine apart from the sea of muted, nude lips.

Beauty Tip: Monika used PRO LUMIÈRE concealer as a reverse lip liner to perfect the red lip and then powdered between coats to provide staying power.

The Face of Fall: Smashbox Decadence: Indulgence & Opulence

Melissa Says: I have to be honest, both of these looks appeal to me, because of the emphasis on gorgeous glow-kissed skin and subtly-metallic, emphasized eyes combined with dewy lips that are lush and somewhat sheer. It's a hard choice, but I think if I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with Opulence for its everyday appeal. Then again...for any night out or special occasion I love the lined style of the eyes in Indulgence. Okay, so it's a toss up!
